The morning featured low clouds; fog, (visibilty <2 miles); & overnight
rain (.13"). The warm front arrived in style, with winds gusting to 32
mph at my weather station (3pm). The sky became mostly sunny about 1pm.

And about 2am this morning, firefighters from about 7 companies have
been dispatched to a house fire in the city's north edge (6 miles away).
It was being fed by 20mph wind, consumed at least 1 (thought to be
vacant) house & was threatening others. Will post a news link on Thur.
